a.k.a. Grading Professors So WE Get Better Feedback

Students grade professors through course evaluation forms. Maybe we can use these forms to get better feedback from our professors. (The irony that the feedback we give them is already way more instructive than the feedback we receive is not lost on me.) Anyway, through the evaluation forms we give feedback on many different aspects of the professor's performance, but we don't give feedback on how good their feedback to us is. Maybe if we successfully lobby for a "rate your professor's feedback" box on the evaluation forms, we can begin to establish feedback as an important part of a professor's job.

I'll hold off anything substantive for now, but one thought popped into my head which I think needs to be answered-- is this the kind of feedback we're looking for? What we did right or wrong on a test? Isn't that feedback only useful for taking other tests, which is not what we'll be doing once we leave school? It seems to me the feedback we want should be related to how to be a lawyer, not how to take a law school test. That's why I think some more fundamental changes are needed, and also why I find it kind of perplexing how many law school professors have never actually been lawyers.
